Mouth clashed with mouth, claw with claw, howling with howling, filled with mana.
“Kaaaah!”
The werewolf warrior hung on to the bear man's neck, the tiger man threw the werewolf warrior, and the buffalo man attempted to charge head-on.
-!
The werewolf warrior's full force strike slammed into the buffalo man's forehead, sending the warrior flying back like an egg smashed against a rock.
But soon after, a second and third warrior leapt forward, this time aiming not for the forehead but for the small eyes compared to its size.
–!
There was a loud noise as the head exploded from within, a giant half-human, half-beast fell to its knees on the ground, and a savage roar shook the imperial palace of the capital that stood at the pinnacle of civilization.
“Kuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu-!”
It was a battlefield between those who were born as humans, turned into beasts, and became warriors, and those who were born as both humans and beasts and grew up to become warriors.
A werewolf with sleek black-gray fur, the boy warrior Diega, attacked Hartsi with dagger-like teeth and curved claws.
Kukwakwakwa-!
A translucent, dark blue aura rose up and enveloped his body.
Ding-!
Every time their teeth chewed the air, the steel traps slammed shut, every time their claws swung, tall trees and oddly shaped rocks burst apart, and every step the two warriors took sent a loud rustling of dust.
bang-!
Die was three times larger than Hartsi, but Hartsi seemed to be three times stronger than Die.
“You, you beast, worse than a dog!”
Heart City, covered in a deep red aura, jumped up and stepped on Di's forearm, scratching Di's face hard.
Choaaaak!
The werewolf's ten-layered shield-like fur was torn, revealing white bones, but even that was restored within seconds.
But on the battlefield, a few seconds can mean the difference between life and death.
Pfft pfft!
In the few seconds it took for Dee's eyes to recover, Hartsey tore Dee's shoulder off, stabbed him deeply in the back of his thigh, broke his ribs and punctured his lung.
The giant werewolf fell, and the little girl cried out.
“Die!”
But the cries were soon drowned out by the noise of the battlefield.
* * *
Thud. Thud. Thud. Thud. Thud.
A cat with short brown hair approached a girl with short brown hair.
One was wearing a suit, the other was showing off his bare muscles, but the two suddenly realized that they looked alike.
“A priest of Amon? How can a human be so wild?”
“You are the chief.”
Cornell gripped his cane tightly and glared at Hartsey, who smirked and kicked him in the shin.
With a bang, Cornell's prosthetic leg snapped in two, and the girl's body tumbled down the stone steps.
“Young human. If you stay there quietly, I won’t kill you.”
Cornell shouted, desperately trying to pull himself up by holding onto the railing.
“If you wanted to protect your flock, you should not have come here. His Majesty Valencian and His Majesty the Emperor will kill you all!”
Hartsey nodded as he passed Cornell with his fellow students.
“I think so too. That’s why I’m going to kill him first. Didn’t Amon tell you to do that? A human priest?”
Cornell's voice trembled.
“He also said that it is unbecoming of a warrior to strike an enemy you cannot defeat.”
Hartsy laughed at her and walked towards the main palace that was visible before her.
“Weak. That’s a story of preparedness.”
And they are already prepared.
“Heartsy!”
“Justinus. I’m coming now!”
The last steps in front of the main palace were blocked by a human barrier.
Hartsi stuck out her tongue at the sight, Elysia also let out a sigh, and Darin let out a hollow laugh.
“Those crazy guys.”
“Wow. What did the Emperor say?”
“Can you get through that?”
Platinum knights in full plate armor and guardsmen carrying huge halberds firmly blocked the main gate of the palace.
“For His Majesty the Emperor!”
“Long live the Empire of Soletaras!”
“Don’t let those monsters set foot in this palace!”
In addition, on the roof of the palace, battle mages were unleashing a barrage of magic that was almost like a bombing, behind them, the regrouped werewolf warriors were preparing a counterattack, and the feeling of retreat was felt throughout the capital.
If the dwarves hadn't been using the earth to build a barrier and the elves hadn't been using dispel and force fields, they might have suffered great damage from magic long ago.
Kwakwakwakwang!
Flames engulfed the green field.
Elicia gritted her teeth.
“Justia. Go in first! If at least one person goes, we’ll be able to get through. I’ll catch up with you shortly.”
Justinian nodded with a sad expression, and Elysia gave orders to the elf warriors.
“I’ll help Justia get in! After three counts, release the force field and fire simultaneously!”
"but!"

“Letting at least one person in first!”
The dwarf warriors pushed the ground up with their might, creating as much cover as possible.
“This is the best we can do right now!”
“Ariel! Give me arrows to strike down all my enemies!”
The elf warriors drew their bows as they released the force field.
Mansiu.
Choaaaak!
The superior spirit of the wind was summoned by the elf's power and infused into the arrow.
A single green glowing arrow rose into the sky.
“Be prepared!”
It rained down on the knights and wizards like a thousand arrows.
A hundred people used that technique.
Swaaaaaaah-!
A million green raindrops poured down on the main palace.
“As expected of an elf…….”
“Cut them all down!”
The battle mages deployed their force fields to their fullest, and the platinum knights took up a defensive stance, drawing out their mana blades to their fullest.
“Go and make a wonderful world. I’ll be right there with you.”
“Elysia. I’ll go first.”
And then the human, protected by the elf, ran down the stairs as if he was flying.
"emperor!"
Finally, I set foot in the main palace.
* * *
Justinian ran down the hallway of the main palace with a strange feeling.
The maids and servants had already all evacuated, so the huge palace was completely empty.
Squeak!
He entered the audience room, pushing open the huge door with both hands.
'So this is how it comes back.'
I knew it wasn't the time to be sentimental, but I couldn't stop the sentiment from welling up in me.
The audience room floor, mosaicked with agate, rare metals, amber, and colorful crystals, the ceiling as dark as the night sky and the chandelier like stars, the magnificent corridors lined with pillars over 20 meters high, the wind and sunlight streaming in from the huge windows, and the beautiful and cruel emperor… … .
It had been several years since I left this place, but the main palace seemed to have not changed at all.
So if anything has changed, it would be him.
The boy grew into a young man, wore a breastplate instead of a fancy uniform, and became a sword master.
The facial lines have become slightly thicker, and the once clear eyes have become a bit rougher after seeing and experiencing the hardships of the world.
But he still loved justice and had the nobility to not approve of a fratricidal tyrant.
Justinian slowly raised his head and looked up at Jaerilis, who was sitting on the throne on the dais.
“…….”
As expected of a sword master with an unknown lifespan, immortality, and flawless superhuman abilities, she had barely changed since the last time I saw her.
His wavy white hair reached down to his waist, his yellow eyes indifferently reflected the world, and he seemed closer to some kind of providence or balance than to a human who cries and laughs.
There was no maid to serve her, no knight at her side, and even the twins who had been with her since birth were gone, yet she still smiled languidly and slightly sadistically.
But the golden crown she wore seemed a little more fitting than before.
Justinian could not admit it, and opened his mouth without showing any courtesy.
“It’s strange, but I think I’ve been here before.”
Jaylilith didn't answer.
She had seen and heard from her twin's actions that ignorance and silence could also be answers.
“You didn’t run away this time either.”
For a moment, she raised her eyebrows at the words she could not ignore.
“This time too?”
“……Yeah. This time too.”
“That’s funny. It seems like you’ve been here before. Yes. Jim didn’t run away then. He won’t run away this time, and he won’t run away again.”
“…….”
The Holy Emperor leaned his arms on the armrest and smiled leisurely.
“I have no intention of running away at any time. Where would I go leaving my palace behind?”
It was an attitude that could not be considered befitting of an emperor facing the leader of a rebel army.
Justinian clenched his teeth so hard that a cracking sound was heard.
“I hated that arrogance.”
"huh?"
“You are not an emperor, you are a monster. A kinslayer. How could you kill your family like that? Yes. There have been many imperial civil wars throughout the history of this great Soletaras. But there has never been an emperor like you.”
Jaylilith looked as if she was wondering if there was a problem, and Justinian finally raised his voice.
“You killed them all! Your Majesty the Emperor, your brothers, your sisters, your siblings, and even your children! Don’t say that you killed them because they rebelled! You killed them even when they knelt down to acknowledge you as the Emperor! You even killed the children who didn’t know anything!”
He blushed and trembled, then continued, "And then,"
“My twin stuck with me until the very end. Murder, arson, robbery, rape, kidnapping… no matter what he did, you spared him and promoted him. You killed everyone who was a threat to your power, and now you spare your twin who is higher in the line of succession than you? That kind of attitude… is so, so disgusting.”
Justinian's indignation shook the audience room.
But Jaylilith shrugged her shoulders as if something like that had happened.
The emperor, who was called a god by the people of the world, had already transcended the human world.
As much as I would admit.
“Yeah. That’s what the lower ranks think.”
An indifferent voice echoed through the audience room.
It seemed like I was dealing with documents coming in every day.
“If I may answer based on the skills you have gained so far… I have a job to do as the one above. It’s something that someone like you wouldn’t understand. I don’t have the confidence or the will to explain it, but everything I have done was something that had to be done.”
Justinian briefly considered himself fortunate to have met the encroachers.
Because I was able to develop the patience to not run away even after hearing such nonsense.
“You killed the former emperor.”
“How long are you going to do this, you ungodly one?”
“He wasn’t a good father either. He was a typical Soletaras monster. But you’ve become an even worse monster.”
Shouts and screams could be heard outside the audience room.
The elf's wind magic swept through, the platinum knight's sword cut off the dweeb's neck, and the water man's claws tore at the body of the guard.
The Holy Emperor burst into laughter so loud that it drowned out all the other sounds.
“He was not a monster, but a great emperor. He sacrificed so much for the future of the empire.”
Justinian thought that was a complete lie.
“Looking at you, I wonder if the empire was worth it. Do you call it a sacrifice for a man to have three empresses, nine concubines, and countless concubines? Do you think you have taken your duty to provide for your descendants too far?”
Naturally, there was a hint of sarcasm in his answer.
But Jaylilith shook her head seriously as if to say that it wasn't true.
It was a gesture that aroused enough curiosity that even Justinian instinctively focused on her mouth.
The Holy Emperor loudly revealed the secrets of the previous emperor.
“He is a foolish traitor.”
It was a secret that no one expected.
Justinian blinked his yellow eyes blankly.
It felt like I'd been hit hard in the head with a hammer.
It was to the point where my eyes started to turn yellow.
“……Blue?”
In the empire, the blue color of a noble man had two meanings.
Either he stopped touching women because he didn't want to get involved in issues of succession or illegitimate children anymore, or he truly developed feelings for someone of the same sex.
Judging from Jaylilith's tone and the historical appearance of the former emperor, it seemed that the former emperor was the latter.
At least he didn't seem to mind getting involved in issues of succession or illegitimate children.
Naturally, questions arose.
Then why on earth did he want to have so many descendants?
“But the fact that you killed everyone…….”
Jaylilith cut him off indifferently.
“There are many things in this world that you don’t know. He did what he had to do, and I just did what I had to do. And I am not qualified to lift the veil of the secrets of the palace…….”
Jaylilith reached out her hand into the air.
A sword in a jewel-encrusted scabbard flew out and fell into her hands.
chuck.
“You don’t have any.”
